Hello everyone.

I recently appeared before a government Select Committee following a submission
on the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology bill that is on its way to
becoming legislation in NZ. This law relates to setting guidelines for genetic
engineering of embryos to create designer babies, human cloning, etc. This on
the eve of the lifting of the moratorium on genetic engineering (GE) in NZ. I
therefore wish to draw your attention to an understanding of one of the basic
issues in the debate that has been substantially overlooked.

The agenda of the late 20th century and the early part of this century is
seemingly set by science, which is now substantially corporately owned. The
bureaucrats who support this regime, who are largely the indoctrinated product
of a university education and who espouse us to "move ahead with science" may be
better called "technocrats". They have the public so focussed on the apparent
"need" to move forward with science, while cultivating the underlying fear that
we will be "left behind" without science, that the public has become unaware
that there are other options in life. Most of the options presented and debated
in public forums are "science says this" or "science can do that", such that the
technocrats have drawn public focus from God and individual responsibility.
While we remain on the playing field of science, win, lose, or draw we are thus
still playing the technocrats' game.

As a teenager I marvelled at the "progress" science could bring. I was in love
with science. I wanted to be a scientist. I spent 4 years at University pursuing
this aspiration. Yet somewhere in my heart I always held the reservation, "I
hope we will be responsible with what we learn." I considered the moral
implications of cloning and questioned how society would come to grips with
these implications, as surely science could not progress without the support of
society.

As an adult, I look back on the last 25 years since that time and wonder when it
was that the scales tipped from society controlling science to science
controlling society. Perhaps I am naïve to consider that society has ever been
in control of science. Nonetheless, as I look back two notable events in the
last 3 years impress me: a sheep was cloned and human genes were inserted into
cows to "improve" the quality of their milk and society never had a word to say
about it. I realise that it is no longer a case of wondering how we will be
responsible before we "cross the line" because it seems the line is already far
behind us and we, as a collective group, weren't included in the decision.

To give another example, were we responsible when we dropped the first nuclear
bomb on Japan? By my reckoning, nearly 60 years have passed and we still have
not learnt to be responsible for nuclear waste in peace time, let alone its
killing power in war time. The wool has well and truly been pulled over our eyes
if we ever thought that corporate or government sponsored science will be
responsible.

Good science is expensive. Isaac Newton spent 20 years of his life in the 1600's
perfecting a revolutionary branch of maths so he could describe his famous Laws
of Motion. Faraday in the 1800's spent a similar period of time just collecting
copper and making wire before he could even conduct his experiments with
electricity. Any pioneer has a price to pay for their effort. Today, pioneering
research requires the latest equipment, facilities and a large team of people,
all of which must be funded. In fact today little large scale research is
conducted without some major investor, typically a corporate body, who hopes to
have a product to sell at the end of the day to get their money back, if not
make a profit. Make no mistake, no matter what the intention of the scientist,
such research is driven by profit, not social responsibility.

In my consideration of genetic research I have concluded that this science is
not immoral, but rather amoral, for there is no consideration of moral virtue.
Genetic research is founded upon the precept that DNA creates life, when the
truth is that God has created all life. There is no moral defense for the
scientists who may sincerely claim to believe in God by saying, "Well, God
created DNA." DNA does not create or dictate life; life creates and dictates DNA
and life was created by God. We are not the mere product of a bunch of
chemicals. Until this fundamental truth is acknowledged by scientists, all
genetic research is effectively amoral and atheistic.

Science says DNA dictates the body structure, but the truth, as we know from our
studies in Body Electronics, is that the morphogenetic field, which exists as
dictated by consciousness, dictates the structure of the body, including the
structure and function of the DNA. The DNA cannot be permanently genetically
modified and supported by life where consciousness does not change. Genetic
manipulation of DNA is no more than another attempt to manipulate outer
energies. DNA must eventually conform to consciousness. There is only one valid
and effective means of manipulating life (if that word can be used at all) and
that is by the power of consciousness or through direct communion with God.

It is thus my belief that all genetically altered life forms will ultimately
"wither and die on the vine". Dolly the cloned sheep is a fine example. Dolly
seemed like a perfect clone but died within 2 years riddled with arthritis and
other degenerative diseases that were the hallmark of old age. Her DNA literally
fell to pieces. This does not mean action on our part is not required since each
of us is part of the collective consciousness that determines the collective
morphogenetic field of the universe. Persistent inaction is an abrogation of
responsibility and one's position in the grand scheme of life that relegates one
to Apathy and the gradual descent into Unconsciousness.

The technocrats have over the years gradually manipulated governments (and
public opinion) to blindly pass laws that effectively make it "legal" (if not
moral) for man to play God by creating the DNA of his choice. Yet the science of
genetic engineering is really a tribute to the ignorance of man and his arrogant
egotism in believing he can permanently manipulate life by tampering with
genetic codes. The science of GE can thus be likened to an attempt to build a
wooden fireplace or make ice cubes inside a hot oven - it is doomed to failure.

Be this as it may, science is not the enemy, but it is a false idol. Consider it
as a graven image seeking to be alike unto God and His works, but clearly not
God. Science is no more than a test for each of us. Can we pass the test of
identification with intellectualism (the level of Grief on the scale of
emotions) and its intoxicating logic or can we not? Please consider, the whole
time one debates the pros and cons of science and its activities, one is not
attuned to God and doing His Laws. The great need of today is not to consider
whether or not to move ahead with science, but to move ahead with God.

Science, GE in particular, invites us to consider whether or not life is
perfect. In fact it proclaims that life is not perfect, since science claims it
can improve life. I believe that part of the Divine Design is to seek perfection
by recognising perfection, not by seeking imperfection and trying to eliminate
it. Perfection is not the absence of imperfection, because everything is already
perfect; the task is for each of us to but see it.

To be very blunt, GE is not about improving society or life. No matter how
sincere some researchers and supporters may be they are simply operating on the
basis of a lie. GE is about money, power, ego, control and intellectual
curiosity. Morality is not a part of it.

It therefore behoves all of us to put forth our physical and spiritual effort to
prevent further atrocity against life by allowing the pursuit of Godless science
to preclude our right to move ahead with God.

On the physical level at this pivotal moment in NZ history, tell your MP TODAY
that GE research must stop in NZ NOW and that our food and environment must be
protected from GE contamination forever. You may consider the popular call for a
5 year extension on the GE Moratorium a small and practical step in the right
direction.

On a spiritual level, disconnect yourself from the entrapments of logic and
forget the alluring calls of science so that you may move into a loving clarity
on the understanding of the sanctity of life in all its forms and pour your
blessings into life that life may bless you.
